Vol. 6 - Chapter 325 - The Hidden Elite-Class - It's name is 'Class-8'

(Info Dump Chapter)

‹Wiseman›.

It's one such job that stood out even among other prominent jobs in ‹Dungeon Activity›.

The most peculiar fact about this job is the race category in which it can manifest. Surprisingly, it's ‹Noble›.

The term ‹Noble› specifically refers to royalties and aristocracy; ‹Royalty›, ‹Duke›, ‹Marquis›, ‹Count›, ‹Viscount›, ‹Baron›, and ‹Baronet›.

In short, it was a job anyone can acquire as long as they belong to one of these categories. That was surprising.

Usually, ‹Royalty› have royal exclusive jobs, and ‹Viscount› have jobs exclusive only to them. This is how race and jobs roles are spread in the ‹Dungeon Activity›.

However, there are also jobs like ‹Wiseman›, while admittedly few but still there are, which aren't bound to one category exclusively.

Incidentally, it is far easier for ‹Baron› or ‹Baronet›, who have low fame value, to acquire ‹Wiseman›, than royalty. Mainly because ‹Royalty› requires a whooping 200 fame value, while other two only 20.

Well, it was such eye-candy to see a character wearing a tiara or crown as ‹Wiseman›, but it was a shame that only one ‹Royalty› category member can be a member of the guild.

Then, why such a versatile job exists that can fit into any category, well the reason is the limit on the number of member selected categories a guild can have.

The ‹Noble› category allows anyone to join as long as they meet the fame requirement.

However there is an upper limit to that number; only one person for ‹Royalty›, two for ‹Duke›, ‹Marquis›, ‹Earl›, ‹Viscount›, and ‹Baron›, and five for ‹Baronet›.

That's where ‹Wiseman› comes into play, which is used to fill up the slot when the upper limit is already filled.

Like, players want to have all the five members of ‹Baronet› category ‹Knight›, so it's impossible to add a ‹Wiseman› job holder there.

Similarly, ‹Héroe› is strong in the ‹Viscount› so ‹Wiseman› can't be added into this category either.

‹Royalty› prestige point is incredibly high so it's even more waste to have them ‹Wiseman›, after all, who wouldn't want a ‹Saint› or ‹Hero› in their guild.

And so and so reason that I'm skipping, ‹Baron› is the only category that we can have ‹Wiseman› without compromising on anything if available. That's how players allocate the slot in the different categories.

That being said, there's no need to explain exclusive jobs are strong. ‹Wiseman› can be chosen in any ‹Noble› category but its performance is slightly mid among other peak jobs.

Well, it's not a ‹Princess Job› so it's understandable. Even males can acquire this job after all.

It is the gap in their starting level, mainly ‹Class-8› and onwards starts from Lv0. Or to be more accurate, they're the students who have acquired a job on May 1st.

Conversely speaking, the 210 students in the first seven classes had already acquired their job within april, and leveled up in that due time, through which, they were then registered in one of those seven classes.

I wonder if It clears where I’m heading. In short, the class division up to class-7 isn't the sign of their absolute abilities.

It was simply due to the head start through status and level up that they were placed in class-7.

If the classes for the entire freshman year had been divided based on Level 0, meaning that all of them started at the same level, I dare say the results would have been significantly different than they are now.

Then someone like Saturn would have absolutely not made up to class-1. Then what about class-8?

What I want to highlight here is students from class-8 to class-50 have similarly high-ranking job and same result as well. So, on what basis students in the class-8 have been chosen for that class when their starting line is the same?

It's their job, knowledge, and practical skills.

Since it's not possible to assess them solely based on level, it’s the next best thing about them, strength of their abilities, which are assessed using all other factors.

In other words, among all the other 1290 students who awakened a high ranking job, the only class which has been decided on academic results in the truest sense is ‹Class-8›.

Everyone is misunderstanding facts.

Typically, the top-performing students gather in Class-1. That's undeniable.

Because usually, those who couldn't achieve a high-ranking job in the entrance assessment are unlikely to obtain a high-ranking job later on.

The requirement to acquire a high-ranking job is unclear. That's why you will not see any entries of dark horse during such a time period. That's why, with the passing of one month will their true skills be reflected in the form of their level, and that's when class will be actually divided based on merit.

However, this year is different.

The number of students with high-ranking jobs count to 1290. But do all the students in this group really hold the ability to be ranked up to class-7?

I am sure this is definitely not the case.

On the contrary, I can already see a huge downfall in the future if the students in class-7 were to be caught up in terms of level.

‹Combat Department Yea-1 Class-8›.

This class is, in fact, a hidden elite class.
